The peculiar way of looking at death in Tibet is to take Tibetan Buddhism as religious substance and sky burial as its practice. In comparing to the other oriental cultures and Han culture, this paper is an attempt to illustrate the esoteric and real meaning of the Tibetan burial culture audits notion of death, and its objective effect out of on subjective will. The so-called oriental burial culture and notion of death are mainly based on thoughts of Hinduism, and Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. They also depend on local religions and custom. Different kinds of burial ceremonies make people naturally have different notions of death. The notion of death is the basis on which burial culture rests. The oriental notion of death is shaped by its natural surroundings and social conditions. It can be divided as follows: the notions of identity, nihility, incarnation, fate-determination, eternity, nature, discipline, cast, making light of one's life, put emphasis on one's life, and reluctant to death etc. The Tibetan Buddhist document has esoterically discussed death in detail. From the notion of death it draws the ontological, cognitive, ethical, aesthetical, and causal meaning of death. In China, although the Tibetans and the Hans have some kind of geographical and historical connections, yet in burial culture they show their differences. The Tibetan burial culture believes in the notions of sky burial, light burial, body-destruction, ancestor less, and on-the-spot. In comparison to Han culture of burial, the former is artificial, utilitarian, and limited by material; whereas the latter is natural, unconventional and in pursuit of simplicity. Living on the roof of the world, the Tibetans are close to the sky. Believing in Tibetan Buddhism, the Tibetans think that only separating from the body can the soul reach to the sky. In sky burial the objective result of death is: death becomes the transformation of the form of material existence, and brings benefit to the protection of environment, and does not cause waste of resources. The biases towards the culture of sky burial are: prejudice, seeking novelty, and simple forgiveness. The subjective will of sky burial is to rise up to the sky, but the objective effect is to return to nature completely. If we put aside cultural prejudice, psychological barrier, limitation of objective conditions, and some technical aspects, then, we might say, sky burial might be the most reasonable way of burying the dead for us to pursue.
